Faces Places Film Screening

About

The late Agnes Varda, one of the leading lights of France's honored French New Wave cinema era, and professional photographer and muralist, JR, undertake a special art project.

Together, they travel around France in a special box truck equipped as a portable photo booth and traveling printing facility as they take photographs of people around the country.  With that inspiration, they also create special colossal mural pictures of individuals, communities and places they want to honor and celebrate.  Along the way, the old cinematic veteran and the young artistic idealist enjoy an odd friendship as they chat and explore their views on the world as only they can. - K Chisholm, IMDB

Hospitable Environment's community cinema, The People's Picturehouse, invites you to join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary Faces Places on Thursday 20th June (7pm).

Inspired by the epic Look Again Supergraphics Festival taking place in Newhaven this summer, we were reminded of this brilliantly charming film about a similarly ambitious project that took place in France around a decade ago.

We think you'll enjoy this funny, heartwarming, and lyrical film about co-creation, the celebration of place, the joy of intergenerational friendships, and the power of communities coming together around a shared idea. All things we are passionate about at Hospitable Environment!

2017, Documentary, certificate 12A, French with English Subtitles
